Tipping Vendors - How Much?
JadedRaven in Planning, on September 16, 2016 at 5:41 PM

Does the same "service industry" standard of 18-20% apply when tipping vendors? When you're talking a $2,500 contract, $450-$600 seems like a huge tip. But I also don't want to be...

Have you used linentablecloth.com?
JadedRaven in Planning, on June 24, 2016 at 3:08 PM

If so, I'm wondering what you did about ironing the linens? I can only imagine they arrive wrinkled since they are shipped/mailed. Any other opinions/advice are welcome. Thanks!!!

Who Gets Introduced During Grand Entrance?
JadedRaven in Planning, on August 30, 2016 at 4:41 PM

I can't think of who is normally included in the introductions during the entrance into the reception. Of course the bridal party, but FH and I are not having one. Are parents or anyone else I'm not...

My bridal shower was this weekend. Our very own Katy hosted it and it was amazing. There was an abundance of meats and cheeses, mimosas, bellinis, and cake and macarons from one of my favorite...

Do I tip the MUA?
JadedRaven in Wedding Attire, on July 29, 2016 at 9:08 PM

My trial is tomorrow and I'm not positive if a tip is normal or not for a trial. I erred on the safe side and took cash out for it.

Alterations - How did you find a seamstress?
JadedRaven in Planning, on July 13, 2016 at 8:54 AM

So my dress just arrived yesterday. I still need to pick it up, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to have the alterations done at David's. I imagine they'd be quite expensive there. Several people I...

100 Days Out - Seems like a good time for a new dress!
JadedRaven in Planning, on June 21, 2016 at 11:05 AM

I just decided that I need to find a new dress. I called DB, and they are (thankfully) going to let me exchange my dress. When I tried dresses on, the consultant had me in a high-back strapless bra....

UO Thread: It was deemed ok!
JadedRaven in Community Conversations, on March 22, 2016 at 4:05 PM

You know what to do. I'll start. The new WW regime sucks. Oh wait...maybe that is a popular opinion?

RSVP Timeline Question - Seeking Advice from Marrieds
JadedRaven in Planning, on March 10, 2016 at 8:47 AM

How far in advance did you/or would you recommend setting the RSVP date? My final count is due to the caterer two weeks before our wedding. Do you think two weeks before that (so one month ahead) is...

KWR: *Trying* to plan a honeymoon
JadedRaven in Honeymoon, on February 23, 2016 at 9:27 AM

Is it just me, or is planning a honeymoon harder than planning the wedding itself? I don't know why, but I'm having the hardest time figuring out where to go and picking the right accommodations....
